I don't even know how I ended up on this thread, but it was a wonderful thing to see. This really caught my attention:

[Cuba] brought up Xi a few posts up, and last year a Xi museum Space was added. Based just on it I still have no idea what Xi was, just that it was apparently "groundbreaking". What the museum lacks in information it makes up for in minigames.
In addition to a text adventure (which I can't show off thanks to that screenshot limitation, but is still pretty cool) there's also a speeder bike game that is the single coolest thing I have seen on Home. Like a RotJ themed version of Hang On trees approach you on the screen in front of your bike and you have to turn to avoid them. However, once the trees reach the edge of the screen they turn into 3D objects and fly past you. It's like some fictional 1980s near future movie arcade machine come to virtual life. |
I had to know what that was like, so off I went to the tubes...
Very cool. What's really great about it though is how much it reminds me of / presages the illumiRoom project.
